fall back

It's the moment you realize you can't stay in bed any longer because you have exhausted the snooze buffer and now you are approaching the late zone. In that moment, you really can't imagine anything more desirable than the warmth and softness of your own bed. It's no way to start the day; wanting something you can't have. And it happens day after day after day...
I've never been a morning person; and that's a nice way of saying it. If I can get out of bed and get myself reasonably presentable in the early morning, I've likely done the hardest thing I'll do all day long. And my day ain't no cakewalk.
So it's without hesitation that I would like to pay tribute to my favorite holiday, the best day of the year, Fall Daylight Savings Day. Hooray! There really ought to be a special song to sing as we bask in its glory. Words that would honor the day I finally get my daily wish: One extra hour!
My dreams come true on that day. But even better, it comes without decorations, shopping, or cooking a large meal. There are no expectations that will not be met or budgets that will be exceeded; no candy overload or firework overkill. It's my kind of holiday!
Happy Daylight Saving Day Everyone...enjoy...and think of me when you hear that alarm sound. I'll be the one with my eyes shut and a big smile on my face.
